Chapter 602: Left and Right
Starting from Jingjiang Mansion early the next morning, Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan, who had been riding horses all the way, followed on both sides of Shi Miyuan's carriage left and right, and told Shi Miyuan about the conversation between the two last night and where the Dali Society was obstructing.
"What then?" The curtains on the left and right sides of Shi Miyuan had already been hung up, and he sat in the carriage and looked left and right, asking for the opinions of the two.
"You are the head of the envoys, at this time you should think of a way to decide how we should go." Ye Qing stayed out of the way.
"You ......."
Shi Miyuan, who had just turned his head, looked at Ye Qing with a relaxed and comfortable face, and just after saying your word, before he had time to play his official authority, he heard Han Yanxuan on the other side say: "By the way, I forgot to tell you, since you decided to rest in Jingjiang Mansion alone, now we are going to Dali, and there is only one way to go through Wulong County." Of course, if you choose other roads, you can get there, but that will be in the second half of the year. ”
"I ......." Shi Miyuan sat in the carriage and turned his head again, this time looking at Han Yanxuan: "But don't forget, you two, if this time we have the grace of God, I am not the only one who suffers the sin, and the two of you will not be able to escape the involvement." ”
"Alas...... Silly you. Ye Qing simply pulled his foot close to the carriage out of the pedal, and then stepped on the window of the carriage curtain lifted, and said to Shi Miyuan: "People are just blocking it, and they may not necessarily kill us, of course, it is also possible that the purpose of others is just to scare the Duan Zhilian behind him and give us some hardship." ”
Han Yanxuan on the other side, looking at Ye Qing's arrogant appearance, stretched out his feet and kicked off the carriage with his horse, and after Shi Miyuan's somewhat dazed head turned around again, he smiled and said: "What Commander Ye means is that maybe this is just the prestige of the Great Ideal to kill our three Song court envoys, such as putting it in a sack and beating it, or throwing it into the Goose River, and then being rescued by the fishermen the next day." ”
"So what do you two mean?" Shi Miyuan looked left and right, Han Yan couldn't care less about kicking his carriage, Ye Qing's stinky feet were on the car window, and he couldn't see it at this time, and most of the majesty of being the head of the envoys along the way was removed at once.
"It's very simple, from now on, before going to the capital of Dali, the first thing you, the envoy should do, is to bury your head in the road, it is enough to eat and drink, as long as you don't give orders indiscriminately." Han Yanyun said lightly.
"You two want to overthrow me, the head of the envoys?" Shi Mi almost got up from the carriage and stared at Han Yandao, who wanted to usurp the throne.
However, when he turned his head, Shi Miyuan's face turned into a sneer, and he looked at Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan left and right again, and then sneered: "Are the two adults trying to scare me?" I don't believe that in my Great Song Dynasty, someone dares to collude with outsiders to murder envoys! ”
Ye Qing laughed lightly and said lazily: "Some time ago, Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, also played a chapter at the court meeting: Yongzhou, Luokong, Temo outside the Nanjiang River, the white-clothed nine roads are named after the Tao, and there is a big tribe called Dali. These are all tribes, and the land leads to Nanzhao. Outside of it, it is Jiaozhi, and the country of Dali belongs to Yan. So Master Shi hasn't understood yet? ”
"You mean?" Shi Miyuan was startled, and suddenly sat in the carriage like an ant on a hot pot.
There are many tribes on Guangnan West Road, and in addition, Taizu has said to Dali: There is no time to go far, so the tribes of Guangnan West Road are close to Dali, and most of them are barbarians.
"The tribes of Dotmo and Luokong in Wulong County, when the emperor was too emperor, he gave the gold seal as the governor, but is it still the case now, could it be that when Lord Shi drank with the prefect of Jingjiang Mansion last night, he only talked about how to make money, and did not talk about the strength of the local folk customs?" Han Yanxuan also asked on the other side.
In order to avoid trouble before arriving in Dali safely, he also had to temporarily cooperate with Ye Qing to suppress the powerful Shi Miyuan, and only in this way, after Shi Miyuan caused them trouble, they might be able to speed up some steps along the way, and they could reach Dali smoothly and safely.
Of course, what the two of them said is true, and now whether it is Temo Dao or Luo Kongdao, they have adopted a left-right strategy, this side is to enjoy the official Lu of the Great Song Dynasty, and there is also a lot of benefits to Dali.
Now the tribal leaders of Luokong and Temo, Shanu and Xiluo, are the Great Song Zhizhou under the pacification of the Great Song Dynasty, and they are also the meaning of Tan Zhuo under the rule of the Dali Court, that is, the king of a clan.
In the face of this sudden information, Shi Miyuan, who had no six gods and no masters, had to start to be stripped of his rights on the journey under the left and right attacks of Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan, of course, Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan never thought that after arriving in Dali, Shi Miyuan would give them power.
But now that they can get such a result, it is enough for them.
Therefore, in the next time, Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan talked more in a whisper, and as the team continued to move forward, from time to time they could see the cavalry of the Five Rivers Army and the guards of the Imperial City Division rushing back and forth, which also made the atmosphere of going to Wulong instantly have a tense taste unique to the battlefield.
Shi Miyuan, who was sitting in the carriage, watched Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan sometimes laughing and talking, sometimes frowning and talking, and he didn't want to be completely overthrown for a while, so he had to wave to his subordinates, got a horse to ride, and came to Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan.
After a night of open-air rest, the next day, a team of nearly 1,500 envoys began to head towards Wulong County, so that as long as they stayed in Wulong for one night and set off early tomorrow morning, they could enter the territory of Dali before dark.
Compared with the counties of Liangzhejiang and Liangjiang, if Wulong County is placed in other places, it can only be counted as the scale of a small town at most.
Strictly speaking, the small county government office already exists in name only, but with the arrival of the envoy team that has exceeded half of the population of Wulong, Shanu and Zoluo, who are Zhizhou, still appeared in front of the three envoys.
As a tribal person, the mysterious fierceness and somewhat gloomy eyes, as well as their traditional dress, for Shi Miyuan, who is accustomed to seeing the traditional costumes of the Han family, in addition to mystery, there is some eerie feeling that makes his scalp tingle.
Especially when the fierce-faced Shanu, who looked like an uncivilized Slan, showed a mouthful of yellow teeth and smiled at him, the head of the envoys, Shi Miyuan even had the timidity to run away if he wanted to.
Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan, who were on the left and on the right, stabbed Shi Miyuan, who had a stiff face, and with the translation of the tongue man and Duan Zhilian's whispered explanation from the side, everyone went to the county yazhi with only three rooms.
Compared to Shi Miyuan's confusion, Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan seemed to have expected this to be the case, and began to set up camp around the county government.
Duan Zhilian looked at the terrain where the Song army was camped from time to time, etc., and could clearly feel that the expressions of the two envoys of the Great Song Dynasty were no longer as relaxed as when they were still in Jingjiang Mansion, and even inadvertently, they could feel a fierce murderous aura from the two of them.
Snake soup, frogs and other half-baked delicacies, and even the snake body, after taking a bite, there will be blood streaks connected to the meat in the mouth, which makes Shi Miyuan, who has always been pampered, after eating a meal, his face is pale, compared to the red light of other people's faces, it can be said that there is a world of difference, as if he has just swallowed a poisonous snake alive.
The words that they didn't understand were mixed in between eating and drinking, Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan seemed to be traveling, talking to the local tribesmen who couldn't understand each other, and the wine in the bamboo tube was as muddy as soup, and they also poured it into their mouths with their eyes closed, and the taste was like yellow muddy water, which was dry and made their throats itch.
There are a hundred times more torches burning with animal fat and black smoke than oil lamps, and the only oil lamp was taken to his tent by Shi Miyuan selfishly, so Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan, after they were full of wine and food, only the torches that emitted a foul smell were left.
The departure of Shanu and Zoluo made the last trace of relaxation also taken away by them, and on the night without any nightlife, the unknown insect chirping chirped in the grass, and from time to time I could hear the panicked sound of birds and beasts being scattered and flying in the low mountains in the distance.
Holding the torch in his hand, he just inspected the 100-person Imperial City Division guards brought by Zhao Qi'er and Xu Qing, while Han Yanxuan walked over with some heavy steps when Ye Qing was sitting on the threshold of the county government gate and was about to fall asleep.
Giving up half of the threshold for Han Yanxuan to sit down, the torch continued to blacken the loess rammed earthen wall: "How?" ”
"Shanu and Zoluo did not return to their homes, there are many mountains, many rivers and many rugged Wulong, and the flat terrain is only the county government, behind them is a small river flowing to the Goose River, on the left is a mountain, on the right is a mountain, and in front of it is still a mountain, and the four directions may be the direction in which they will attack us at night." Ye Qing spread his hands and said helplessly.
Han Yanxuan lowered his head and smiled bitterly, sighed at the night sky that seemed to be much lower, and said, "The soldiers are coming to block it, the water is coming to cover it, isn't yesterday's rest just for tonight?" Do your people need the protection of the Rivers Army? ”
Ye Qing also lowered his head and smiled, and then said, "Just take care of yourself." But...... You still need to remind the head of our envoys, otherwise, all the retainers of the Shi family will die here early tomorrow morning, and with Shi Miyuan's character, this account will definitely be recorded on your head. ”
"Take care." Han Yanxuan got up, looked at Ye Qing, who was still sitting on the threshold, and said after being stunned.
"Yes." Ye Qing nodded, and after listening to the footsteps of Han Yanxuan behind him gradually disappearing, he also began to let out a long sigh at the night sky.
Han Yanxuan went to Shi Miyuan's tent, while Zhao Qi'er and Xu Qing slowly walked behind Ye Qing, who was sitting on the threshold, and said after a while: "Dutou, the end of the alley is not far to the west, and it is not a problem to ambush thirty or fifty people." ”
(ps: I remember I said before, this book is suitable for reading this book, and it will be very tiring to chase more, and you have to have the heart to live a life.) Then I'll talk about it, the reason why I didn't hesitate to write about Ye, Han, and Shi is that everyone should be able to see that the future court pattern is the three of them who have the final say. At that time, the relationship between them must have been even more tense than now, and now in these episodes, I not only want them to cherish each other, but also want them to hate each other in the future. So if you don't do these foreshadowing, you will feel that there is a lack of thickness and tension when you write about the life-and-death struggle between the three of them in the future. As for expanding the territory, it requires qualifications, and it is not something that a young Ye Qing can do, don't forget, even Han Yanxuan, a fierce tiger, is lying down at this time, let alone Ye Qing. So this book has just kicked off, hahahaha....... Because the east, west, north and south, Jin, Mongolia, and Xia have all been paved, although the Southern Song Dynasty is small, it is magnificent, and the grievances and hatreds are not more charming than this era. )
